I'm dealing with a cold and a throat infection for the past two days. I'm taking Chestin Cold and Ambroxol cough syrup from my local pharmacy, but my cold hasn't improved and my throat pain is actually worse. Is this normal, or should I go see a doctor?

During our treatment, we didn't take Aspirin or any other blood thinners. Should we consider taking any blood thinners now that we're recovering? Any guidance would be really helpful.

Hey, I got a small scratch from my dog's teeth while we were playing yesterday. There wasn't any bleeding, but it did swell up a bit overnight and a tiny bit of skin got peeled off. It's only slightly painful. The dog is vaccinated, but should I consider taking any precautionary meds or injections?

no its fine you wont get rabies since the dog is vaccinated.
